The following steps describe how to uninstall Office products on a PC (laptop, desktop, or 2-in-1). For Mac, see Uninstall Office for Mac.

Tip: Uninstalling Office only removes the Office applications from your computer, it doesn't remove any files, documents, or workbooks you created using the apps.

Uninstall Office for your installation type

The steps to uninstall Office depend on the type of installation you have. The most common installation types are Click-to-Run and Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI). The other type is an Office installation from the Microsoft Store app.

Select the Click-to-Run or MSI or Microsoft Store tab below and follow those uninstall steps for your installation type.

If you have a Click-to-Run or an MSI installation, uninstall Office using the Control Panel or download the uninstall support tool. If you can't uninstall Office using either of those options, try uninstalling Office manually.

Option 1 - Uninstall Office from the Control Panel

Open the Control Panel.

Tip: If you installed the Office apps as part of a suite, such as Office Home and Student or Office 365, search for the suite name. For stand-alone apps search by the app name, such as Project or Visio.

In most cases you can't uninstall an individual app if it's included in your Office suite. The only way to uninstall an individual app is if you purchased it as a stand-alone app.

How you open the Control Panel depends on your version of Windows.

Windows 10

In the search box on the task bar, type control panel, then select Control Panel.

Click the button below to download and install the Office uninstall support tool. (This tool won't uninstall stand-alone apps such as Project or Visio. To uninstall a stand-alone app follow the control panel steps in Option 1 above.)

Follow the steps below to download the uninstall support tool according to your browser.

Tip: The tool may take a few minutes to download and install. After completing the installation, the Uninstall Office products window will open.

Edge or Internet Explorer

At the bottom of the browser window, select Run to launch the SetupProd_OffScrub.exe.

Chrome

In the lower-lower left corner right-click SetupProd_OffScrub.exe > Open.

Firefox

In the pop-up window, select Save File.

Next, from the upper-right of the FireFox browser window, select the downloads arrow and then select SetupProd_OffScrub.exe.

Select the version you want to uninstall, and then select Next.

Follow through the remaining screens and when prompted, restart your computer.

After you restart your computer, the uninstall tool automatically re-opens to complete the final step of the uninstall process. Follow the remaining prompts.

Select the steps for the version of Office you want to install or reinstall. Close the uninstall tool.

Uninstall Office manually

Uninstall Office from Settings in Windows 10

Select Start
> Settings
> Apps.

Under Apps & Features select the version of Office you want to uninstall.

Note: If you installed an Office suite such as Office Home and Student or you have an Office subscription, search for the suite name. If you bought an individual Office application, such as Word or Visio, search for the application name.

Select Uninstall.

Tip: If you can't uninstall your Microsoft Store installation using Settings in Windows 10, then try to uninstall Office manually using PowerShell following the steps below.

Uninstall Office manually using PowerShell

Remove Office

Right-click Start
and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

In the Windows PowerShell window, type the following:

Get-AppxPackage -name “Microsoft.Office.Desktop” | Remove-AppxPackage

Press Enter.

This takes a few minutes. Once it's done, a new command prompt appears.

Verify Office was removed

In the Windows PowerShell window, type the following:

Get-AppxPackage -name “Microsoft.Office.Desktop”

Press Enter.

If only a command prompt appears and no additional information, it means you successfully removed Office and you can close the Windows PowerShell window.
